galatians 1:15-24

18Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter[b] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord's brother. 20I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie. 21Later I went to Syria and Cilicia. 22I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23They only heard the report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." 24And they praised God because of me.

Bro., I know what he was referring to . He's trying to establish some sort of Biblical mandate that someone wait a minimum of three years from conversion before they preach. I've already pointed out that Jesus sent out the 70, two by two during His ministry. Now he's trying to say Paul was in some sort of training for these three years, when the Bible doesn't say that at all. Paul wasted no time in preaching the Gospel after his conversion. A few days does not amount to three years.
